With plaudits being thrown in Andrew Garfield's direction for his performance as Peter Parker in Sony's rebooted The Amazing Spider-Man, you can't help but feel for Tobey Maguire, whose take on Parker seemed to be relatively popular during his tenure as Marvel's friendly box office blockbusting wall crawler from 2002-2007. But he's hardly the actor to suffer from rebootitis the most…

The elaborate $10-million sequence intended by director Bryan Singer to open the 2006 film but cut from the final product appears as a deleted scene on the Blu-ray release of The Superman Motion Picture Anthology.

Director Zack Snyder explains that his franchise reboot takes a page from Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins: "In every aspect of design and of story, the whole thing is very much from that perspective of respect the canon but don’t be a slave to the movies."
